Saws

Don't leave it in the sun.

Lol,

 

Apart from sun, you should be able to leave it anywhere else and no self-respecting thief will touch it!

Hi

 

I would not use it as a lot of saws like this are Chinese copies, most should never been sold in EU as they often dont meet safety standards.

 

Destroy it first so no one else can use it, then chuck it in a skip.

 

It hasn't cost you anything, but it may cost you an arm & a leg!

Just to play Devil's advocate here; I wonder if you'd all be making the same statements if he'd come on with a 40 year old, non-chain braked, Stihl?

 

Doubtless some of you would be cooing over it rather than telling him to chuck it in a skip.

They don't usually have bits that break, bend or fly off. That's how they get to be old:001_smile:

Hi

 

A friend of mine found an 07s in a skip recently & yes, it was a good find which filled with new fuel ran fine the next day. Both us have used saws since our early teens, neither of us have a problem with no chain break, most saws diddnt have them anyway.

 

The real issue, is when a saw is fitted with what looks like a chain break, an inexperienced user may not even check it on starting. However should it subsequently be demanded to activate but fails to work correctly, the consequences of that failure are going to be very severe.

 

& yes if it was an old Stihl Id had offered you a tenner

I'll give your mate £20 for that 07s being as it has no chainbrake

That only works if the chainbrake is an inertia type, I can never see the point of it myself, it only activates when held a foot above a log and dropped, what's wrong with the old fashioned way of putting the brake on? Less damaging than bashing your saw on logs all day!

Which saws don't have inertia chain brakes?

[biggarlogs]

my dad had a 07s weighed a ton no chain break needed as it was so heavy getting it up was the problem.mind you it was lighter than the danarm it replaced.

my point was that doing this action would replicate a kickback
